Driving Positive Change: The Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of TU Wien Joins AIM Global in Shaping the Future of AI in Industry

The Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Technische Universität Wien has joined AIM Global, the Global Alliance on Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Manufacturing. This strategic collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing safe, sustainable, and inclusive use of AI in industry and manufacturing.

A futuristic industrial scene where a human wearing a virtual reality headset collaborates with a humanoid robot. The human interacts with advanced digital interfaces displayed on transparent screens, while the robot operates machinery with precision. Both are engaged in a high-tech environment that features robotic arms, data visualizations, and digital systems, symbolizing the synergy between human intelligence and robotic automation.

Guided by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), AIM Global promotes the responsible development and deployment of AI and frontier technologies. Aligned with the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda, AIM Global shapes a digital future that is open, secure, and beneficial to all.

AI technologies are transforming industry and manufacturing, offering unprecedented opportunities for increased efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. However, the adoption of these technologies also brings ethical considerations, privacy concerns, and the imperative for inclusivity.  As a new member, the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is excited to contribute to AIM Global's mission of unlocking the full potential of AI for industry.

"We are honored to join AIM Global, where forward-thinking partners collaborate to harness the power of AI responsibly in global manufacturing networks," said Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Fazel Ansari. "By collaborating with UNIDO, we are expanding the exchange beyond Austria and Europe into globally distributed industrial value networks. In addition to innovation and sustainability goals, the special requirements of the countries of the Global South (G77) are also taken into account here."
